Video: Lil B, “Unchain Me”

In the spoken word intro to "Unchain Me," off the album I'm Gay, Lil B tells us he's doing well: I've come to a point where I'm happy. According to Lil B, that's always been the point of the album and its controversial title, and he's incessant about hammering it home. "I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy," he told MTV. "I'm a gay, heterosexual male." And that's what this video is all about. Wearing another pair of shiny, dangling earrings and a denim jacket left open to expose his shirtless chest, he walks by the water (re-birth symbol!) during the gloaming hour, the sunset sparkling behind him. Just make sure that you smile, he raps. We are, B!
